Tax relief

Gov. Brian Kemp announced Monday that the state begins sending Homeowner Tax Relief Grant funds to local governments this week. The one-time grant cuts the assessed value of qualifying homes by $18,000, and the relief appears directly on 2026 property tax bills rather than arriving as a check. CBS Atlanta

The Wrap

Smyrna's Concord Covered Bridge is 131 feet of dark, nearly windowless wooden tunnel over Nickajack Creek. The site dates back to around 1840, and the bridge has survived arson, floods, and the passage of time. One horror novelist traces her love of all things spooky to driving through it as a kid. Goosebumps, but the good kind.
